An All New Blu-ray Perfectly Timed For Father's Day Coming On June 5, 2012

The Cinderella story of the Hickory basketball team as depicted in Hoosiers is one of the best inspirational stories in the history film. Here, to honor Hoosiers and other encouraging films, we will feature our five favorite inspirational stories in film, including It’s a Wonderful Life, Dead Poets Society and Harold and Maude.

Norman
Dale (Gene Hackman) is a volatile basketball coach with a dark past who
arrives in a small, rural Indiana town to attempt to lead the high
school team to victory. This group of underdogs needs all the help they
can get, and no one would have ever suspected that it would come from
the unlikely duo of Dale and his newly hired assistant coach, the town's
recovering alcoholic, Shooter (Dennis Hopper). Under Dale and Shooter's
guidance, the Hickory team surprises their town - and themselves - by
not only becoming an unstoppable team during the basketball season, but
also taking home the 1952 State Championship.

It’s a Wonderful Life

In 1946’s It’s a Wonderful Life,
we see in a flashback that George Bailey (James Stewart) has spent his
entire life giving up his big dreams and aspirations for the good of his
family and for his town, Bedford Falls. But in the present, on
Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal over misplacing an $8000 loan
and the scheming of the evil millionaire and slumlord, Mr. Potter
(Lionel Barrymore). George wishes he had never been born, and his
guardian angel, Clarence (Henry Travers), falls to Earth, and shows him
how his town, family, and friends would turn out if he had never
existed. In the end, George realizes his desire to live and that he
truly does have a wonderful life.

Harold and Maude

1979’s Harold and Maude is
the story of Harold Chasen (Bud Cort), a young man obsessed with death.
He regularly stages elaborate fake suicides, attends complete
strangers’ funeral services, and drives a hearse, all to the chagrin of
his uptight, high society mother. At a funeral, Harold meets Maude (Ruth
Gordon), a 79-year-old woman who shares Harold's hobby of attending
strangers’ funerals. The pair forms an unlikely bond, and Maude slowly
shows Harold the pleasures of the arts, and teaches him how to enjoy and
appreciate life.

Field of Dreams

In the 1989 film Field of Dreams,
corn farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) hears a voice in his field
telling him, "If you build it, he will come." He takes this as an
instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the
ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other Chicago Black Sox players
banned from the game. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a
reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and
the purpose for his field. On the field, Ray ends up being reunited with
his own father who had passed away, and plays a long-delayed game of
catch.

Dead Poets Society

Dead Poets Society was
released in 1989 and is often included on lists of the most
inspirational films. In it, John Keating (Robin Williams) is a radical
new English teacher at the uptight Welton Academy Prep School in 1959
Vermont. Through his unorthodox teaching methods, like standing on desks
and tearing pages out of books, Keating is able to help his students
discover and explore their true passions in life, like writing and
acting, instead of succumbing to the lives their parents have dictated
for them.

Erin Brockovich

In the 2000 film Erin Brockovich, Julia
Roberts portrays the real life hero of the same name. Not only is Erin a
single mother to three children (which is a feat in and of itself), but
she also discovers and investigates a massive cover up of industrial
poisoning by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and crusades for
justice for those who were affected. Brockovich ultimately aids in
winning those affected a $333 million settlement.
